Now, most people know that antiques are very valuable. But in the first few decades, most people in ordinary homes had "antiques". It is only because they do not understand, do not know the goods, and do not know the right things, they are discarded, lost or sold cheaply.
At that time, I also had two "antiques" that I had lost.
Around the end of the 1970s, due to the existence of strong neighbors in the north, our Inner Mongolia region was the front line of "anti-repair and anti-repair". Affected by the general environment at that time, children were popular in the game of "fighting", and wooden knives, simple red guns, homemade bows and arrows, and homemade matchsticks were all necessary equipment.
In 1974, the color animation film "Bow and Arrow with Sound" directed by Hu Jinqing and produced by Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was released. This color cartoon tells the story of Xiao Gang, a young hunter in the northern frontier of the motherland, who took over his grandfather's bow and arrow to fight against Tsarist Russia and captured the enemy. After the film was released, it caused a great response and was adapted into multiple versions of the comic strip (villain book).

Perhaps it was because the friends saw the influence of this comic strip, so everyone hoped in their hearts that they would also become a heroic teenager Xiao Gang, so they all started their own hands, took local materials, and made bows and arrows.
The shaft of the bow and arrow is made of straight branches, and most of the arrows are made of thick wire or iron nails; the bow body is made of elastic small elm trunks, which can be carved with a knife, and the bow string is to steal the fine hemp rope or fishing net line from the house. In this way, a large group of boys and children in the whole village all shot wildly with bows and arrows, chasing chickens and dogs, and enjoying themselves.
At that time, I also made a bow, an arrow, and generally I was satisfied with the bow, but I was not satisfied with the arrow, because I couldn't shoot it accurately if I wasn't far away.
One day, I suddenly thought that there was a tiger pillow sewn for me by my grandmother at home, which had a bronze three-edged arrow on it, and the general tiger pillow tiger's nose was made of cloth and sewn up, but my tiger pillow was sewn with a bronze three-edged arrow as a nose. Thinking of this, I secretly removed the bronze arrow and installed it on the shaft.
The bow and arrow made by myself were equipped with real arrows, and sure enough, the effect was not generally good, and the shot was far and accurate. In the envious eyes of my friends, I held this bow and arrow, and I was very proud of it for a few days. Who knows the joy of extreme sadness, just because this arrow shot far, in a play shooting, after the arrow shot out, ran over and only found the arrow shaft, the arrow could not be found.
The missing bronze three-sided arrow, the rear part is empty, can be inserted in the shaft, there are 3 small holes in the side, should be tied to the shaft with a thin line, so it can be sewn on the tiger pillow. According to personal judgment, this arrow is an "ancient goods", because most of the bronze three-sided arrows were used in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, even in our north, the bronze arrows of the Yuan Dynasty were eliminated by iron arrows.
The missing arrows are basically similar to those in the diagram
In the 1980s, when I was in middle school, my father brought back a small black clay vase from our Damaoqi pastoral area of "Houcaodi", saying it was an antique. At that time, it was not at all remarkable to look at this thing, so it was not a proper thing, and it was casually thrown into a corner of the cold room.
Many years later, I remembered that this small pottery vase was very similar to the black-glazed wine bottle unearthed in July 1958 in the ancient city of Jining Road in the Yuan Dynasty (a subordinate territory of wanggu in the Yuan Dynasty) in the right front banner of Ulanchabu Mengcha, but there was no one who was tall and there was no word (inscription) on it. When I went home to find this thing, I didn't know where it went.

Although in the Tang Dynasty there was a famous verse of "grape wine luminous cup", the basic popularity of wine was in the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongol Yuan conquered not only large areas of land in the Western Regions, Arabia, the Indian Peninsula and even Europe, but also partially absorbed the cultures of various places, including the large-scale cultivation of grapes and the making of wine. In the area around Taiyuan and Hohhot, there are many vineyards and wine workshops.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the ancient city of AoLun Sumu in the present-day Damao Banner was the capital of the Wanggubu of the Mongolian Yuan's "worldly marriage and worldly friends", and the Wanggubu was more open and diverse than other ethnic groups at that time, and it was more "Westernized", so the Wanggubu nobles drinking wine was not a new thing.
Black-glazed wine bottles look inconspicuous on the outside, but not many are found.
The past cannot be traced. Alas, not to mention.
